Gigabyte 945P-S3

[an4rew]

I know this board is not a great overclocker, I was at least expecting to bump my processor a little bit, but i have a problem theres no multiplayer and when i change the FSB to 300 it all looks good, post screen shows the overclock but as soon as Vista loads it shows 1.8Ghz.

Rebooted back to Bios and the Clock rate is default. Only when i change the memory muliplayer to (2.0) the overclock does not default back in Bios but still showing stock speeds in Vista and CPUID.

I have not touched any voltages.

Gigabyte 945P-S3
Core 2 Duo E6300
2GB Corsair Value (667) in Dual Channel.

Any idea's please?

Have you turned off the following?
3. In the Advanced Bios Features Menu, Disable all of the following: CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E), CPU Thermal Monitor 2(TM2), CPU EIST Function
I would read the DS3/DS4/DQ6 guide as these are similar boards

I had that board but it died on me! The only way I found to overclock it was through the program gigabyte provide, easy tune 5 or whatever, and at that I only managed to get a stable clock of 2.1ghz.

I got it replaced with an Asus boards based around the same chipset and @ the moment I have that stable @ 2.45ghz now! thats pretty decent for a 945 board in all honesty, I just have the Sata Drives die out at anything higher than that speed.
